HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) – The latest from Homestead-Miami Speedway, the site of NASCAR’s season finale (all times EST):

12:15 p.m.

Rain is threatening the start of NASCAR’s season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The track is dry for now, but dark clouds loom and forecasts call for afternoon thundershowers. The green flag is scheduled for 3:15 p.m.

NASCAR officials say they won’t start the race unless they believe they can finish it. They also have no plans to alter their current race rules, meaning the finale could be deemed official any time after the halfway point in the 400-mile race.
